CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of February 25, 2013 — Executive Session and Regular Meeting Page 11 of 19 M. Fire Department Temporary Over -hire Authorization Introduction: This item provides for consideration to authorize the City Manager to permit a temporary over - hire of one (1) Firefighter /EMT in the Fire Department due to a Fire Department member who is in the Florida National Guard and is being activated for a year -long assignment in the Iraq /Afghanistan war theater as well as numerous, lengthy medical leaves by several members within the Department. The combination of these absences from duty is negatively impacting the Fire Department's personal services budget. Budget Impact: As the City has minimal budgetary impact from the Fire Department member on long -term military assignment, funds for that position along with some anticipated overtime expense savings, should provide sufficient funding for this temporary over -hire. Additionally, normal attrition experienced by the Department annually should have this temporary position absorbed into the authorized staffing level prior to the member on military assignment returning to duties at the Fire Department in February of 2014 (next fiscal year). Recommendation: The City Manager and the Fire Chief recommended approval of one (1) temporary full - time Firefighter /EMT over -hire. N.
